The aim of this module is to provide students with techniques for using some algorithms and their associated data structures. This includes the concept of computational thinking; the theoretical underpinnings of Computer Science; programming including data types, control structures, methods, inheritance, arrays, graphics and the mechanics of running and testing; algorithms, their complexity and implementation in programs; the application of these ideas in a practical context.
Upon the completion of the module, a student should be able to:
Express a problem solution algorithmically using pseudocode
Analyse the time complexity of an algorithm
Construct computer programs to implement algorithms
Test a computer program against the specification.
